Leanne Morgan, 2nd Springvale Scout Group

What is something people don’t know about you?
That I’m a very shy person. LOL – no really I’m an open book.

What drew you to Scouts?
My family I have always been involved in Scouting. My mum is the group leader and all my sisters and brother are leaders at Springvale and we are a strong group lots of Morgans in every section – adventure and fun and lifetime friends from everywhere.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Making a fool of myself at Venturers but all in all having a great time with the youth so who cares if I look crazy?

Why should people get involved with Scouts?
Scouting is my life. I’ve never looked back and have been in the movement for over 32 years as a wee Cub myself. The best thing about Scouting is making so many amazing friends from everywhere and as a leader watching my Venturers turn into beautiful young adults and striving to be the best they can. Working with the 14 to 18-year-olds we see an amazing change in the youth. It’s just beautiful and I tear up as they leave to go to Rovers as adults.

What misconception about Scouts would you like to set the record straight on?
Hehe, easy that one – it’s more than two hours a week. LOL. I wouldn’t change it for the world, though. I just love my Venturers and I encourage all kids to give it a try. Come down to Willara Venturers in Springvale and give it a go – you won’t be disappointed.
